George Russell believes that his Mercedes in Qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix "didn't feel the same" following his crash in Saturday's earlier Sprint.
After securing his 50th F1 pole position at the Singapore Grand Prix, Max Verstappen has joined an exclusive group of drivers who have achieved this feat.
The drivers and teams report back on all the action from the Sprint and Qualifying at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, ahead of the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.
LONDEN (ANP/AFP) - Duizenden mensen hebben in Londen, Berlijn en Dublin deelgenomen aan pro-Palestijnse demonstraties. Ze riepen op tot een einde aan de Israëlische aanvallen op Gaza.
In Londen droegen de demonstranten borden met teksten als "stop de genocide" en "bevrijd Palestina". "We zijn hier vandaag om stil te staan bij drie jaar aanhoudende genocide in Gaza", zei de directeur van Palestine Solidarity Campaign tegen persbureau AFP.
In Berlijn waren ongeveer 3500 mensen aanwezig bij een mars die was georganiseerd door de groep United for Palestine. In Dublin werd een mars georganiseerd door de Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Het was afgelopen week op 7 oktober precies drie jaar na de aanvallen van Hamas op Israël. Sindsdien voert Israël vrijwel dagelijks aanvallen uit op de Gazastrook. Daarbij zijn volgens het Palestijnse ministerie van Gezondheid al meer dan 74.000 mensen gedood.
Er zijn volgens het Pentagon tot nu toe 21 Amerikaanse militairen omgekomen in het Midden-Oosten bij operaties tegen Iran. De officiële telling is naar boven bijgesteld, meldt The Washington Post. 865 militairen raakten gewond.
De krant berichtte vorige maand dat het aantal militaire doden hoger lag dan de achttien die het Pentagon tot dan toe rapporteerde. Defensieminister Pete Hegseth noemde dat nieuws destijds "een complete leugen". Het nieuwe cijfer omvat volgens de Post onder meer twee extra sterfgevallen buiten gevechtssituaties.
Het Pentagon "blijft zich onverminderd inzetten voor een transparante en nauwkeurige registratie van alle slachtoffers onder militairen", aldus een verklaring.

Find more stories from the moment I knew series
In 2017 I was 16, went to an all-girls Catholic school in Melbourne and had zero tolerance for teenage boys and their nonsense. Instead, I spent a lot of gossip time lamenting Jake, who broke my tiny heart in primary school and then moved hours away.
A local debutante ball was coming up. It was an expensive tradition that was fundamentally at odds with my values, but I couldn’t say no to a pretty dress and dancing – I was still a teenage girl after all. Some friends asked cousins or co-workers from our part-time jobs to be partners. I got knocked back by everyone. When I complained to my mother, she let me know Jake had moved back to town, and did she want me to ask his mum if he would be willing?

What was the most Australian thing that you experienced while you were in the country filming Dustfall?
Working with a python? We don’t tend to work with snakes in the UK. I’m absolutely snake phobic but the python was very professional. Behaved better than I did.

Exasperated dad Simon Hooper shakes his fist at the camera in a recent viral video. “We managed to get rid of YouTube in our household six months ago and the kids are finally OK with it,” he says, but Netflix is “now commissioning YouTubers to make their brain rot and putting it back in front of my kids’ faces”.
The precise “brain rot” he’s referring to is the arrival of a polarising show that’s lighting up parent chats around the globe. And while Salish and Jordan Matter might be new to Netflix Kids users, the father-daughter content creators are familiar to anyone who’s spent any time on the internet. Jordan Matter, who started his YouTube career in 2017 as a photography vlogger, pivoted to family content after his energetic preteen daughter, Salish – a competitive gymnast – brought viral traction to the channel in 2019 and 2020. (Famously, his YouTube bio reads, “My daughter has taken over my channel!”)

Football, the world’s most popular sport, played by laws drawn up in London in 1863. The Premier League is the UK’s greatest soft power export. Premier League clubs are owned by a deputy prime minister of Abu Dhabi, the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia, a billionaire based in Monaco for tax reasons and a disappointing assortment of investors and private equity funds. And what, really, could be more British than that? Football truly is the national game.
What the Manchester City case has exposed is just how difficult it is to regulate some of the richest and most powerful bodies in the world. While the wait for the verdict was frustrating, it’s perhaps unavoidable given the possibility of legal objection at every turn when a leaked email from City’s in-house lawyer during Uefa’s action against the club had threatened to “spend 30 million on the 50 best lawyers in the world to sue them for the next 10 years”. You didn’t get that with Albert Alexander Sr or Peter Swales.

It drew delirious chants of “you’re going down with the City” with Spurs, at that stage, rock bottom of the Premier League and Manchester City’s long-term future in the division in question.

lynddion has added a photo to the pool:
Feyenoord heeft in een kolkende Kuip een belangrijke slag geslagen in de eredivisie. De ploeg van Giovanni van Bronckhorst was in een vermakelijke topper met 2-0 te sterk voor directe concurrent AZ en neemt daarmee de leiding op de ranglijst over. Twee Spaanse treffers maakten het verschil: Nacho Ferri opende al vroeg de score, waarna Javi López de voorsprong na rust verdubbelde.
Er zijn maar weinig dieren die mensen op het menu hebben staan. IJsberen, die mensen zelfs kunnen stalken in de voedselschaarse poolcirkel. Krokodillen, omdat het achterlijke idioten zijn en omdat ze alles vreten wat maar naar binnen kunnen rammen. En tijgers, die in de Sundarbans actief op mensen jagen en jaarlijks zestig vissers en houthakkers aanvallen. Wat je dus niet moet doen is bij poekie in z'n verblijf klimmen. Dat deed deze knakker wel in het Yorkshire Wildlife Park bij Doncaster. Hij waarschuwde de tijger nog 1 laatste keer. Het mocht niet baten. Video na de klik.
